Newly tattoo'd skin can be inflamed and very sensitive to hot, cold or sunlight. If you go out into the sun, make sure to wear protective clothing and sunscreen to avoid sensitivity caused sunburn. Also be aware that your skin is healing and may be more susceptible to bacteria, fungus and other infections. Avoid swimming in natural pools, coming in contact with soiled clothes/linens etc.
